Powering the Future: What 50 Years of Enhanced Geothermal Teaches Us Today
The report examines 50 years of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) development, synthesizing data from 103 projects to identify trends in drilling speed, cost, and production. It highlights a shift toward commercial viability driven by oil and gas techniques, such as horizontal drilling and multi-well pads, and notes a surge in power purchase agreements (PPAs) totaling over 610 MWe. The analysis emphasizes that while incremental and step-change innovations have improved performance, further research into superhot rock and better data transparency are needed for global scaling.
